subject is part of lyrics of a bawdy song that was making the rounds of some frat houses in the early 60's. Other snippits include "you're my one and only Venus. You do something to my --heartstrings" and "Madam, since I've met your daughter, I've had trouble passing water. . ."

I would like to get all the lyrics and melody. Or even just the name and I'll try to find it on KAZAA.

I think this is what you want. I heard jasper carrot singing it. (I thought it wasn't his, you see it's funny)

Was it you who did the pushing Left the stain upon the cushion Footprints on the dash board upside down If it's you who did my daughter I think for your safety you should ought to Better start your packing, and get leaving town.

Yes it's me owe did the pushing Left the stain upon the cushion And the foot prints on the dashboard upside down Ever since I did your daughter I've had trouble passing water So I think were pretty even all way round

Was it you who did the pushin' Left the stains upon the cushion, Footprints on the dashboard, upsidedown?Ever since you met my Nelly There's been a swellin' in her belly So you'ld better get on back to town.

Yes it's me who did the pushin' Left the stain upon the cushion Foot prints on the dashboard upside downEver since I met your Venus There's been a swellin' in my penis So we're 50-50 all around.

I heard this as a joke when I was a small boy. Some travelling salesman got together with a farmer's daughter and she turned up pregnant. He wrote a note to said salesman which read:

I send to you this token of the whip socket that was broken, And the footprints on the dashboard upside down; Since you left our little Nellie, she's been swelling in her belly, And I think it's about time you dropped around.

And the salesman's answer:

I received your little token of the whip socket that was broken And the footprints on the dashboard upside down Since I met your little Venus, I've been dripping from my penis, And I think we're 50/50 all around.

As you can see, this took place in the horse and buggy days. The song probably came after the joke.

Sir: I'm sending you a token Of a buggy whip that's broken And of footprints on the dash-board upside down. There are grease-spots on the cushion And there's evidence of pushin' And our daughter Venus hasn't come aroun'.

The Answer:

I'm the guy that done the pushin' Put the grease-spots on the cushion, Made the foot-prints on the dashboard upside down; But since I had your daughter Venus, I've had trouble with my penis, And I wish I'd never seen your God-damned town!

As for recordings of this bawdy ditty I know of a few: Oscar Brand on his Bawdy Songs Goes to College (ca 1958) and the Immoral Ballads CD (ca 1993). I believe that John Valby did a version but I can't find it on my website (www.immortalia.com).

I have a field recording of this song as sung by Shut Your Manhole (aka Little Head). You can listen to that version here: Footprints on the Dashboard
